Bookworms Retreat
Several of you have offered to pitch in at the store. Now we have a couple of tasks we could use your help with. For those that are crafty and dexterous, we have tattered covers to wrap in Broadart. That’s the plastic sleeve you see on old books. For the detail oriented, we have stacks of books to be alphabetized and shelved. Many of these are history and literature so if that is your interest, we can definitely put you to work. These are not the types of jobs that have to be done all in one day, so a few hours here and there, after work or school are all that’s needed. This is an opportunity for you to learn more about your local bookstore and enjoy a book-lovers retreat. Give us a call at 997-1535 to set up a time to visit about how you can help out.
The half price sale continues!
It is working for us and inspires book lovers to own a treasure. Get 50% off when you select $50 worth of books.
Reminder
Bring us your clean used bubble wrap and packing peanuts, we use LOTS.
